“The isolation of Russia is already making itself felt,” ex-coach of “Spartak”

Former football player and coach of Spartak Moscow Igor Ledyakhov commented on the latest trends in Russian football against the background of the total isolation of the aggressor country.

“Football has been going downhill for a long time. And now the situation with Ukraine has been added. The quality of the game suffered greatly from the departure of foreigners. It is not surprising that those clubs that have retained foreign players are at the top.

Rostov is rather an exception. Outstanding coaching team. They play as young people, but they look very decent.

The isolation of Russia is already making itself felt. A lot of quality players left. Krasnodar lost good players. "Rubin" lost half of the staff and flew out. What's to complain about now? We need to work with the material that is available," Ledyakhov said.
